Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Information about adoption, or fantasy idealisation of birth parenting?This is a useful read for potential adoptive parents, or even the parents of children who have been separated from birth parents for any reason. However, I found that the author wildly idealised and exaggerated the connection and understanding of birth parents with their children. Birth parents do not automatically know and understand their children and their baby's needs. This is learned, through successive children and also through getting to know the individual child.

Not all of us feel the so-called "Primal Wound", and I for one, am insulted by almost every sentence in it. My birth mother thinks this book and its author are akin to the second coming, but I say, why not think for yourself? You don't need a book (and a poor one at that) to tell you how you feel.

There are some interesting and helpful stories in here, but I am very concerned how the author takes her experience as first an adoptive mother, and then a biological mother, and assumes that she speaks for all adoptive parents. I think she might not have dealt with her own infertility..because there is a really OBNOXIOUS statement in the books where she says "..and for those of use who are biological ... Read More Rating: - Wow amazing and wonderful book!Simply amazing and wonderful book for anyone involved in the adoption triad. Opened up my eyes to things I never thought of before. Thank you for publishing this book. It is a hard read at times, but a must read.
